Clicking any pinned extension that opens a dropdown causes browser to hang since 139.0.1 update

Yesterday (Sat 5/31), I woke up to the 139.0.1 update, along with a new behavior that Firefox will hang (and require a Force Quit) any time I click a pinned extension that opens a drop-down interface (e.g. 1Password, Adblock Plus, Pocket).

I've tried disabling all extensions and bringing single ones back (as well as disabling Pocket via about:config) - the result: any extension that opens a dropdown causes the hang, and any extension that runs without opening a dropdown works just fine, regardless of the combination of extensions that are enabled/disabled at the time.

I tried opening Troubleshoot Mode (although it's of little use since my problem seems rooted in extension behavior) - the first several times I tried, it ALSO caused a hang, but now I'm able to turn it on & off without an issue (though the page rendering is wonky within it - I imagine that's just a Troubleshoot Mode thing?). For whatever it's worth, I think the change that preceded it starting to open without hanging was my disabling this [setting] (though it didn't cause any change in the original behavior, which was my initial goal).

I'm running macOS 14.6.1 if it's of any use. Thanks for any troubleshooting ideas!

Link didn't work above - here's the setting (browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash) I disabled that (potentially) caused Troubleshoot Mode to start working again - though I'm not sure if there was actually any connection.
